City boy goes camping...

So, I have decided that the summer of 2008 is going to be summer of me. Let selfishness and megalomania reign supreme. In being the summer of me, I determined to have fun and try some new things. The first new experience was camping with colleagues I am friends with. Now those of you that know me, know I am not the outdoors type. I like cities, buildings, and private bathrooms. I hate birds, trees, and communal bathrooms. But why not hang out with friends and lose my camping virginity? So we camped up in Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park in Staatsburg, NY. My views on camping...Well, the first day and night were actually fun. I enjoyed viewing the sunset on the Hudson River, roasting marshmallows, and hanging out and grilling with friends. However, by the second day...I was itching to return to civilization. I can only take so much of Mother Nature and her battalion of trees, bugs, and hiking paths. Hell, I had to pee in the bushes since the communal bathroom was far away. It was almost as bad the toilets in Argentina that couldn't handle toilet paper. You'll have to ask me to explain that one...
